CARTON AND BLANK THEREFOB.

peccation of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 12, 1919.

Application filed April 26, 1919. Serial No. 298,009.

To all 'whom it may concern.'

le it known that I, ROBERT A. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States residing at Cincinnati, in the county of I-amilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cartons and Blanks Therefor, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to im rovements in carton and blank therefor. ne of its objects is to provide an improved carton for display purposes, in which the container and lid are united so that when opened the lid section is guided into a position to serve as an easel or support for the container, to hold the container in an inclined position best suited to display the contents thereof. Another object is to provide an improved blank preferably of one piece, from which both the container member and the lid member may be produced by`foldn Another object is to provide an lmprove blank and carton in which the walls are of double thickness and arranged to present only one face of the sheet or stock to view, thereby providing for the use of stock which is faced and printed upon one side only. Another object is to provide an improved blank from which the container and lid may be set up entirely by a folding operation, and without the use of paste, staple, or other similar fastening means. My invention also comprises certain details of form, combination, and arrangement, all of which will be fully set forth in the descri tion of the accompanying drawings, in w ich:

Figure 1 is a plan of a blank suitable for producing my improved carton.

Fig. 2 is a per eotive view yof the container member an lid member set up and in osition to be filled.

iig. 3 is a pers ective view of the two members approachmg a closed position as compared with that shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a central longitudinal section through a closed carton.

Fig. 5 is a view'similar to Fig. 4 illustrating a modification.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of. the conrainer and lid members in open position to display the goods to be carried therein.

The accom anying drawings illustrate the preferred em odiments of my invention in which 10 represents a blank cnt from cardboard or a er stock and scored as indicated by dette lines in Fig. 1, so as to be folded whereby the section 20 is Ibrou to produce a box or container member 11 and a lid member 12, united by a connecting `section 14, which is also a portion of the inner face or lining.

The blank, and carton when folded, is of such nature that it may be cut from stock which is faced or finished upon one side only, and requires to be printed upon one slde only, and may be folded so as to produce a container member with double Walls, and a lid member with double walls, and thereby presents only the single face, or finished face of the stock to view on the exterior and on the interior of said members, all of which are features of im ortance in the economic production and nal appearance of the carton. The cartons are adapted to be shipped in the at or blank condition and to be set up by a folding operation without the use of glue, paste, or metal fastening devices, at the point where the cartons are to be filled.

In foldin the blank to form the container and id members 15 represents the main outside section of the lid and 15 the lining therefor while 16 represents the main or bottom section of ythe container and 16 the lining therefor. In folding the" blank, it will be noted that the blank is unbroken or continuous along its upper side, and is out in from its lower side to partially separate that portion of the blank for the container from that portion of the blank forming the lid, so that either the lid or the container may be folded first, and the folding of either one up to the point where the continuous upper ortion of the blank is to be folded into p ace may be carried out without inconvenience due to their being connected together, and said continuous upper portion of the blank is folded into both members at a single operation. Y

If the lid is to be folded first, itsv end sections 17 and 18 are first lifted at right angles to section 15, and sections 18 are turned inwardly at right an les to sections 17. The sections 19, 20, an 21 are then lifted at right angles `to section 15 folding along thev scored line 22. Then a fold is made. along the line 24, and another alon the line,25, t faceto face with section 19, with the sections 18 locked between them at their ends, and the section 21 is brought against the inner face of section 15 and one edge thereof placed beneath the curved tongue 2 6 to hold these sections 17,

18, 19, 20, and 21 in their adjusted position while similar folds are being, made using the sections 17', 18', 19', 20^, and 21" of the container portion of the blank, the edge of section 21' being locked beneath the curved tongue 26.

A fold is then made along the scored lines 27 and 27', and then along the lines 28 and 28' which causes the sections 29 and 30 of the lid and sections 29' and 30' of the container to fold face to face locking between them the sections 18 of the lid and sections 18' of the container, and bringing the sections 14, 15', and 16' into position to form a lining for the lid and container members, and completing the carton substantially as illustrated in Fig. 2, ready to receive the goods to be packed in the container member thereof. The sections32 and 32' serve as lining sections for the ends of the container, and the sections 33, 33', and 34' serve as lining sections for the lid member. The section 31 may be omitted if desired, and when employed is designed to carry and display advertising matter when the carton is on dis lay, and when it is closed the section 31 olds as an additional protection over the top of the goods and Within the lid as indicated in Fig. 4.

In the position iFig. 2 the sections 33 and 33' serve as a portion of the lining of the lid. When the lid is closed over the container as illustrated in Fig. 4 the sections 33 and 33' fold along the scored line 36 one upon the other, and said sections rest between the end of the container and the end of the lid. The section 32 folds relative to section 16' along the line 35, the section 33 folds relative to section 32 along the line 37 and the section 33' folds relative to section 14 along the line 38. The sections 33 and 33' serve to take up slack material When the lid is fitted over the container, and need not necessarily be located at the position illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, but may be located anywhere between the scored line 34 and the scored line 37. As illustrated in Fig. 5 the sections 40 and 41 corresponding to the sections 33 and 33 of Figs. 1 and 4 are located close to the scored line 34, and fold one upon the other Within the lid. The tongues 26 and 26 are formed by cutting curved slits in the blank sections 15 and 16, and said lookin tongues facilitate a rapid setting up of te cartons from the blank form. A slit 45 separates the section 14 from the section 30, and thereby provides for the movement of thesection '14 relative to the lid member as indicated in Fi 3, during the operation of placing the lid on the container or removmg it therefrom. Theblank can be made in tvvo parts united by a paste lap say near the line 37 in place of a one piece blank.

The article herein illustrated and de scribed is capable of considerable modifica tion without departing from the principle of my invention.

What I claim is:

1. A one piece carton blank comprising a section to be folded into a lid and a section to be folded into a container, said blank being scored at the union of said sections to guide said sections to a telescopic closed position and to a partially telescopic display position in which one end of the conaner rests upon the edge of one end of the 2. A one piece carton blank comprising a section to be folded into a lid, a section to be folded into a container and a connecting section forming a lining for the lid and folded upon itself to take up the slack when in closed position and limiting the relative movement of the sections in display position to a partially telescopic ositlon of the container section into the lid section with one end of the container section resting upon the edge of one end of the lid section.

3. A one piece carton blank continuous across one side and divided froml the op osite side into a lid forming section an 'a container forming section.

4. A carton blank continuous across one side and the opposite side divided into a lid forming section and a container forming section, said blank being adapted to form when folded double Walled lid and container members united through their inner Wall.

5. A carton blank divided at one side into a lid forming section and a container forming section, said blank when folded orming double Walled lid and container members united through their innerl Wall.

6. A one ieee carton blank continuous across one si e and the opposite side divided into a container member and a lid member having an integral connectin member limiting the movement of said li member relative to said container member.

7. A one piece carton comprising a double walled lid member anda double Walled container member set up entirely by a folding operation, the blank for said carton being scored at the union of said container and lid to guide said container and lid to a telescopic closed position and to a partially telescopic display position in whichone end of the container rests upon the edge of one end ofthe lid.

In testimony whereof I have aii'xedl my signature. A

ROBERT A. TAYLOR.
